RNH Mtarfa

On 6 January 1915, Sir Leslie Rundle, Governor and Commander-in-Chief Malta, laid the foundation stone of the new Central Services Hospital.

[2] On 1 March 1951, the designation of the hospital changed to The David Bruce Military Hospital, after the discoverer of the root cause of brucellosis in 1887 (later traced to goats' milk in 1905 by Sir Themistocles Zammit).

It was modified and re-opened as the David Bruce Royal Naval Hospital Mtarfa on 2 October 1970 and remained as the only military hospital in Malta until the Royal Navy departed in 1979.

[2] It was then converted to a state secondary school named after Sir Temi Zammit, part of St Nicholas College.

[3] The hospital is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.
